Animal Commencal Team Kit 2007
Animal are proud to roll into their 20th Anniversary year with the formation
of the new Animal Commencal international mountain bike team and enter a new
chapter with long-term team riders Dan, Gee and Rachel Atherton.
Dan Atherton
The UK freesport clothing brand is excited to unveil the 1st pictures of the
new team race kit designed by Animal’s in house design department. Inspiration
for the kit was taken from Animal’s original zebra stripe Velcro watch
strap of 1987. As part of Animal’s 20th anniversary, selected team riders
from pro teams across board and bike sports will carry exclusive zebra graphics.
To complete the look Animal’s design department has generated the entire
team look including, the Animal Commencal logo and bike decals. Over the forth
coming weeks expect to see all new team truck designs, Dan Atherton’s
helmet, posters and post cards.
Rachel Atherton
Commencal’s passion for the sport coupled with their bikes' world class
performance and individual styling made the link with Animal an obvious choice.
Animal sponsorship manager Steve Kitchin (founder of the Animal Mountain bike
team in 1995) added “Dan, Gee and Rach joined the Animal program in
2002 as juniors, over the last four years they have taken the Animal team
to a new level of International competition performance and freeride action.
The Animal Commencal team is a perfect partnership and we look forward to
moving into future with the Atherton’s in what promises to be their
greatest years so far.”
Gee Atherton
One happy - if somewhat sombre - family.
Look out for the team at the UCI World Cup, International freeride events
and UK race circuit. Follow their progress at animal.co.uk
and animalcommencal.com
(this Web site doesn't seem to work right now - maybe it will
by the time you see this Ed.)
The Animal website has been updated with the latest team images, the site
is gender specific so you will need to click into the girls site to find
Rachel.
New Kit - cool. Anything to say about that? I
think I might rant myself.
